Any suggestion on a good gasoline pump to move gas from one vehicle to
another in a garage?

My wife always fills up at the most expensive stations while I get my gas
at the least expensive I can find using Gas Buddy.

I'd like to weekly (or so) transfer about 15 gallons (or so) from my tank
to hers in my garage (or just outside the garage).

One that automatically dials 911 when the temperature exceeds 1000 degrees.

you've piqued my curiosity about *why* you want to transfer (especially
weekly). Wouldn't it be easier just to switch the station at which you fill
up? (or to take her car to put some less expensive gas in it)

Seems like a lot of work to solve a non-existent problem.

I switch stations all the time but my wife does not. I work near Costco
which is only about $2.90 a gallon nowadays while the gas stations she goes
to are $3.10 or so. We live very far (20- miles) from the nearest gas
station. She would love it if the "gas tank just filled itself".

She grew up in the only state in the USA that has true self serve (where
you stay in the car the whole time) and she hates those "cash only"
stations that make you wait in line at the checkout twice just to fill up.
So she goes to the expensive fill up stations which are more convenient and
closer to where she shops.

Of course as you suggested, I could just go out at 6am or 11pm and simply
take her car out for gas, it would be much less work to just fill up her
car from a tank at home.

I considered buying a 500 gallon gasoline tank but then I learned that gas
goes stale so that would only be useful for commercial establishments.

Anyway, there must be someone else with a similar problem that has found a
workable solution.

Never had that problem where I live, as there are many options.
Seem the easiest option is to switch cars when she gets low, and fill
hers up at the Costco.
Of course one of you may find reason to reject that option.
Which means it just ain't that important.
Any gas transfer scheme is plain stupid, both from the cost and safety
perspectives.

Interesting. You may want to try Grainger.com. search for Gasoline
transfer pump. Not cheap, but I have a feeling you already knew that.

good luck with your search.

There are chemicals that you can add to the tank to prevent or greatly slow
any degradation. And, you can fit it with a condensation trap to preclude
moisture transfer. This plan could work if you have a place with enough
land
to keep the tank clear of the house.

So you're going to do all this to save 20 cents per gallon?

At 15 gallons per week, you're potentially saving...three dollars.

That's $12 per month.

Unless you're /really/ stuck for cash, is it even worth it?

Yes, I have a simple solution. I don't fret about $3 a week. Frugality is
smart, but there are times the stress would outweigh the savings. Look at
the potential loss with a mishap, your time to do the swap and your time for
the extra fill-up you have to do now instead of your wife. Find a better
way to economize.

A change in perspective will make the "problem" disappear. Look at it
this way: Gas costs 3.10. You, however, are a member of an exclusive
club, and because of your regular driving route, get to take advantage
of their very nice savings, and purchase it at 2.90.

She isn't spending too much. You're spending too little. All together,
you and your wife are beating the system by 0.10 per gallon. Be happy,
and go think about something more important.

You are going to go thru all that trouble to save $200 a year?? You
save $0.20 per gallon. If you swap 20 gallons a week that's $4 a
week, X 52 weeks a year = $208. Seems dumb to me.

Hi,
I wonder how much he saves doing that. Too cheap gas can cause trouble
in cold winter. Hope he hs a fire extinguisher habdy while doing it. I
fill my wife's car. We always fill up when tank goes half full in winter.

My advice is to learn to live with it or fill the wife's tank for her.
Transferring gas in the grage is plain DUMB. My brother set the house on
fire 50 years ago doing that. He was a kid and did not know any better.


Even at 10¢ a gallon difference, you'd save $1.50 a week. Worth the risk?
Worth the time and trouble and expense of a pump? Find a reasonalbe priced
station on her route and use it regularly.

My car I cant even get a siphon hose into, its a theft saftey device,
probably one of your cars has it. It would still be best to get her to
switch for other reasons.

Or why doesn't just have a peek at her gas gauge once in a while, and if
it's getting low, go get the tank filled for her.

He will accomplish two, and possibly three, things that way:
1) Get cheaper gas in her car,
2) Look like a kind, caring and considerate husband, and
3) possibly get more sex on account of #2.

A win all around, I say.

To make a 40-mile round trip "just" to fill up a gas tank doesn't seem
viable.

Just switch vehicles once a week. Or can't she drive your vehicle?

1. Go out for donuts and coffee every Saturday morning while your wife sleeps
in. Take her car, and fill it up yourself while you're out. Don't tell her
why; simply let her assume it's because you're a loving, devoted husband, and
reap the rewards of that assumption.

2. Do The Math, Part I -- how much time and gas do you spend, driving out of
your way to get the least expensive gas you can find? If you drive five miles
out of your way to save a nickel a gallon, you're effectively placing a value
of less than $3/hour on your time.

3. Do the Math, Part II -- what's the difference between what you pay, and
what she pays? Maybe 10-12 cents per gallon? So the fifteen gallons you
propose to transfer every week represents a savings of $1.50 to $1.80 a week
in gasoline costs. How many years before the pump pays for itself?

4. Do the Math, Part III -- Repeat the previous calculation, subtracting a
reasonable value for the time you spend doing this from the amount you save on
gas. *Now* how long before the pump pays for itself? (Hint: if the value you
place on your time exceeds about $6/hour, the answer to this question is
"never".)

5. Do the Math, Part IV -- if your wife is using fifteen gallons of gas a week
commuting to and from work, you need to buy her a more fuel-efficient car. I
can drive my Saturn over 400 miles in the city, and over 500 on the highway,
on fifteen gallons of gas. I bet your wife isn't driving 80-100 miles a day.

Just about any pump made for the purpose should work.

There ARE alternate ideas, some of which have been mentioned.

My favorite would be the reverse of what you propose: Remove some (amount
of) gasoline from HER car and put it in YOUR car. As the price she must pay
to run errands increases dramatically, she may, on her own, move to reduce
her expenses.

Most cars, now days, have baffles and such to prevent
siphons. I'd suggest to keep a 5 gal gascan in your trunk,
and fill it when you fill. Pour that gasoline into her tank
when you have a moment. That will take some of the strain
off her fuel bill.

The new gasoline containers regulated here in DE are a real PITA - slow
to pour and often spill the gas they were meant to store without fumes
or spillage.
And, running around town to buy the cheapest gas is often not cost
effective. You may save a nickle a gallon but burn a gallon going out
of your way.

I wish, oh how I wish, I could find on the Internet a gasoline container
like the old style! (two holes ... a capped vent and a pour spout). Out
herre, we have these CARB-mandated gas cans which are "supposed" to prevent

I never spilled so much gasoline in my life. I guess I could find a

I drive by a Costco every morning and evening so that's where I get the

than $3.08 and many are more).

Well silly you aren't supposed to use it for filling your car. You are
supposed to go and buy the cans that algore says you can't have to do

NYS also has the gascans with spring loaded vapor trapping
spout. I usually screw the spout off, and pour through a
funnel.

the cheapskate place yourself? Fill it for her if you're worried about
a nickle.

My wife always fills up at the most expensive stations while I get my gas
at the least expensive I can find using Gas Buddy.

I'd like to weekly (or so) transfer about 15 gallons (or so) from my tank
to hers in my garage (or just outside the garage).

Easier way is for YOU to buy a couple 5 gallon gas cans. Take them with
you and fill them up on the way home. Top up the wifes car as needed.
Also gives you gas on hand if YOU run low.

This can be dangerous too. The answer is that his wife should fill it when
she
is in town, or he should take her car every week or two and fill it up.

You cant foolproof this type of situation. Fools are too clever at getting
around
almost every precaution.

I agree with others that what you are planning is not practical and
may be dangerous. That said I installed a valve on my truck in the
fuel line that I can open and it will let me draw gas from the truck.
I have used this for lawnmower gas, helping a stranded motorist and
lantern and generator fuel when camping. Since traded that truck in
and the current model will shut down the fuel pump after a few seconds
if the engine isnt started. I miss the old setup and have thought
about just putting together a set of hoses with an external tank fuel
pump that I can keep in my tool box.

It is done, and has been done, but is probably not the best of ideas.

Friend of mine has a Carter electric fuel pump screwed to a large
board (to keep it from flopping around in use) with lengths of rubber
fuel hose attached to it for just this purpose. Wired up with heavy
zip cord with alligator clips so you can clamp onto the battery
terminals of your car. Works great on older cars; utterly useless on
a newer car with an anti-siphon baffle in the filler neck.

If I remember correctly, back in the 70's during the Arab oil embargo,
the Alabama State Troopers had the patrol cars modified to dispense
some fuel for stranded motorists who ran out of gas on the Interstate.
The announcement included a statement that the measure was not meant
to get you to your travel destination but to get you safely off the
highway and to a gas station.

Maybe "modified" meant opening the trunk and placing one of those red
gas cans inside.
